I’ve been remiss in my shameless self-promotion, and this one is a treat, because I grew up with a lot of classic Doctor Who and this particular part reminds me of one of the villains you might hear facing off against one of those Doctors. I mean, who doesn’t want to voice an evil -er- a deeply misjudged alien intelligence? It’s all part of the Audible Visions podcast, which features a variety of shows. This…
“Supercuts” are always fun and supercuts of a past year’s films are a fine tradition to uphold. For over a decade, I’m enjoyed the meticulously crafted montages by David Ehrlich, a film critic and, as quickly becomes apparent: wholly unrepentant cinemaniac. His tastes and judgment on films are as varied as they are unexpected, paired beautifully with a veritable mixtape of a soundtrack that grabs you as much as it startles you. Basically, one minute…
Since I was recently speaking about cinematic joy, this is a story that absolutely gives The Force “the feels.” There’s a brand new language dub of the original Star Wars in the Ojibwe language. The group can be found across the northern United States and Canada, so, when digging for more news, I found many a local report, as they appear to have sought speakers from all over to bring this latest version of the…
Really don’t have much to mention at the moment except that I felt a great disturbance in the Force earlier, and now I know why: James Earl Jones has died at the age of 93. I’m going to go release my feelings and try not to turn to the Dark Side now. ### UPDATE In addition to the BBC article above, you can also check out the Washington Post and, really, a slew of pieces…
As I mentioned back in August, one of my recent audio fiction roles was playing a slice of upper Midwestern wholesomeness in the form of Deputy Ray Lester. It was all the more fun considering the distinct unwholesomeness of what goes down in and around this little American town (like many horror podcasts, this is not broadcast-friendly). So, feel free to check out the trailer below, check out the rest of the fabulous cast and…
I’m happy to say I’m in another interesting audio fiction project that’s going into production. “Havana Syndrome” is being written and directed by award-winning storyteller Lisette Alvarez and promises to be audio spy-fi on a global scale. “But wait,” you say. “Isn’t ‘Havana Syndrome’ the name of something that really exists?” Yes! If you vaguely remember there being an attack on American personnel in Cuba by some heretofore unknown sonic weapon (or… something), that’s where…
I’m working on a few more audio fiction productions this year… even as I’ve been working on the next installment of my own. But I recently finished recording a character I really enjoyed playing. Those of you who’ve been around the upper Midwest have probably run into someone like Deputy Ray Lester… and if you like like some audio horror, then you’ll like Partial Veil… though I will say it’s way more “TV-MA” than what…
Bob Newhart has died. He wouldn’t want people to be anything other than low-key about it… perhaps a deadpan quip. And 94 years is a great run for a person. Maybe not for an elf, mind you, but remember he was management. Still, I’m quite bummed, and I’m hardly alone. You can read obituaries and appreciations from CinemaBlend has a good rundown of where you can see and hear some of his work. And the…
I’m very happy to announce an audio fiction gig I did some moons back, Clutch, is coming to the podwaves… today! I am part of a huge and very talented cast — and the mini-series all comes from the mind of Kennedy Phillips, whom some of you may know from Magus Elgar. But you don’t have to take my word for it! Listen (and take a look at) the many wonderful and wonderfully silly characters…
Donald Sutherland, whose acting career spanned generations of filmgoers, has died at age 88. You can read about it in: As one might expect from working so many decades, many in the film industry are mourning and sharing their remembrances. One of the aspects that I find so interesting about the lanky actor with the piercing eyes is he did prodigious character actor work, yet didn’t submerge into the role as some character actors are…
